Beach Drive bypass for sinking sidewalk

beachdrivebypass.jpg

Thanks to Dawson for pointing out changes to this area along the southbound lanes of south Beach Drive — the sinking sidewalk is now marked as “closed,” and yellow barriers are up enabling walkers/runners to use part of what would have been the parking lane. We’ve walked that stretch before, always trepidationally, considering there’s a steep slope on the other side of the hedge bordering the now-closed sidewalk.

    I noticed this the other day and didn’t know what the scoop was…thanks WSB!

    I’m glad I don’t live below the sinking hill.

    That’s good. I’ll have to check it out myself. I know Morgan Community submitted requests to SDOT and Dept. of Neighborhoods to repair, replace, improve or otherwise make useful that stretch of Beach Drive. I’m glad to hear that some action has taken place. SDOT did say they knew Beach Drive in that whole area leading to Lowman Beach was in deplorable condition.

    No… the most southern part of Beach Drive near Lowman Park is just fine and the roadway looks very good.

    How about streetlights and no parking in the bike lane, as well?

    trepidationally?

    Tom…that’s a million dollar word, isn’t it? ;-)
